So doing a whole control arm/strut change out on the 2016 SXT Blacktop Edition 130,000 mi. The best I found was to remove the entire knuckle to get the strut out. Question is, @ what torque do the drive axle nuts need to be when all done and replaced. Also, are there any other torque specs I should be aware of, and should I just go ahead and replace the hubs as well since it's all apart anyway?

Yes, replace hub bearings while it's all apart.

Thanks. The torque specs were helpful BIG TIME. Now I know to replace a couple more bolts. If only I could get those damn axle nuts broke loose now. Never bring a knife to a gun fight lol.

Any torque specs on the brake caliper mounting bracket. I know they must be red lock tight applied but...

Sorry to be a pain.

No need for red loctite.

I reused my axle nuts when I changed the bearings, that was like 4 years ago, no issues with them. never used locktight on a caliper bolt either, no issues.
I did change the wheel bolts because the factory ones swelled and were a real pain to get off.
